The deal is back until July 30, 2025
If you haveMy Nintendopoints to burn and you aren’t already a Nintendo Switch Online member, here’s a two-birds-with-one-stone sorta tip. Nintendo is (once again) giving outa seven-day trial code for Nintendo Switch Onlinein exchange for a paltry 100 Platinum Points, which you’re able to easily earn for free.
That’s long enough to revisit a bunch of NES and SNES games, includingPunch-Out!!andSuper Metroid, and play a few rounds ofTetris 99before you remember that people are absurdly good atTetris. It’s also an ideal opportunity for anyone hoping togo online withAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsthis weekend.
As for caveats, the Nintendo Switch Online code is only usable if youdon’thave an active Individual or Family Membership plan, and the code will expire on June 03, 2025, so you can’t hoard it forever.
Assuming you don’t already have 100 Platinum Points sitting in your account (I barely interact with My Nintendo and I had enough), you can complete a couple of missions. The easiest way: finding and clicking two Poochy Pups on theYoshi’s Crafted Worldwebsitefor 50 points each. They’re lurking around a few different sections of that site and aren’t exactly well-hidden. Just make sure to sign in.
We mentioned thePoochy Methodthe last time Nintendo offered trial codes, and it still works today.
